The Solihull Manor House And Its People 1900 to 2000

Fred Ritchie

Although the Solihull Manor House dates back to 1495, the content of this book concentrates on the dramatic events which affected the building during the 20th century and the impact upon the Manor House of the changes to the built environment in Solihull. The author also pays tribute to the dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers who have helped to steer the course of the Charity, which acquired the Manor House in 1946, through changing social times.

It also reveals the existence of one of Solihull’s best kept secrets, the beautiful and tranquil garden, tucked away at the rear of the Manor House, which is used as an optional outdoor seating area by customers of the Manor House Tea Room, where all are made most welcome.
